on behalf of the Participant. 
 ARTICLE III 
 Eligibility

	 	(d)	Decision Upon Review. The Plan Administrator shall review the denial of the claim, and shall furnish the Claimant with a final decision on review within 60 days after receipt
of the Claimant’s request for review, unless the Plan Administrator determines that special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the request for review. In that case the Plan Administrator may extend the applicable time for
an additional 60 days. If an extension is required, the Plan Administrator will notify the Claimant of the extension and the date by which a decision on review is expected. The decision on review shall be in written or electronic form, shall be
